Life Quote by Andrew James

“Yes. That's right. I did see her. I did see her before it happened. I did know about her existence and presence. I knew about her thoughts and feelings. I knew about her depression and cuts. And you know what I did? I tried to help. That's right. I knew about her suicide. All my work. For nothing.” quote by Andrew James
